A Few Of My Favorites From Kraftfoods.com

Okay, so I think I'm probably veering away from the whole budget-friendly thing with these recipes, but they're good! :-) I'm actually realizing that most of my cheap meal ideas tend to come from a box (yup, I said it) and that's not really so inspiring! But... tomorrow I will be including some good tips I've received over the last couple days on how to put your pantry to good use! So if you don't have a gag reflex when you hear the words "mac n cheese" or "Hamburger Helper" - stay tuned.

Anyway, here are a few of my favorite dinners from kraftfoods.com (My first stop for easy, quick, and affordable meals. Geesh, they should pay me for such nice advertising! haha) :-)

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Cook macaroni as directed on pkg. Meanwhile, cut butter into small pieces; place in bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish.BEAT egg and milk with wire whisk until well blended; set aside. Drain macaroni. Spoon half of the macaroni over butter in baking dish; sprinkle with 1 cup each of the VELVEETA and Cheddar cheese. Add half of the egg mixture. Repeat layers of macaroni, VELVEETA, Cheddar cheese and egg mixture. Sprinkle lightly with paprika.BAKE 15 min. Remove from oven; stir until well blended. Bake an additional 15 min. or macaroni mixture is until heated through and top is golden brown.

What's a Ditty?

The standard definition of a ditty is a simple, joyful song. Well, I guess you could see motherhood as a joyful song (with some craziness thrown in here and there) but it's defintely far from simple! More recently, the word "ditty" has been used to describe something special - chic and trendy things. Here "ditties" stand for all things that moms love!
